Now that I’m looking for it, I can’t find it anywhere, I think it might just be something unpublished from the person on mastodon. Would make sense with them saying they love footnotes

Not necessarily. Self citation is different than building on your previous work. You might just seek to use other citations for the relevent concepts

Not only that but honey bees also threaten native bees
But scientists say competition with honey bees may also play a role. In a 2017 report in Conservation Letters, researchers calculated that during three months, honey bees in a typical 40-hive apiary collect the equivalent amount of pollen and nectar as 4 million solitary wild bees. “Brilliant foragers,” honey bees can “dominate floral resources and suppress native bee numbers,” says lead author Jim Cane, a retired federal biologist who heads the nonprofit WildBeecology.
Honey bees also carry diseases that can infect natives, including deformed wing virus and the parasite Crithidia bombi. Researchers have found that native bees near apiaries can suffer a high incidence of such illnesses.
Fun fact, most North American native bee species don’t even live in hives or produce honey for themselves at all. They also almost never sting too
Unlike honey bees, more than 90 percent of our nearly 4,000 native bee species live not with other bees in hives but alone in nests carved into soil, wood or hollow plant stems. Often mistaken for flies, the majority are tiny and do not have queens or produce honey. Without a hive’s larvae and food supplies to defend, “native bees almost never sting,” Mizejewski say

This smells like something being blocked by Cloudflare’s WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules. I’d imagine there might be a rule there to try to block requests that look like they could involve sensitive files like the passwd file

They’ll also likely be killed especially brutally. Likely either: ventilation shutdown, foam depopulation or whole house gasing/containerized gassing

Worth noting this is a different strain (H7N2) than what is going around in dairy cows right now (H5N1)

Behind a paywall unfortunately
Language has no equivalent for the absolute physical silence that burst upon me in that fantastic, baffling chamber. […] I have known many kinds of silence—the silence of early morning, the silence of remote mountain summits, the silence of gently falling snow. […] Shut in by floor, ceiling, and walls of fiberglass, I throbbed with the silence of the dead and the silence that covers buried peoples and ages without a history.

That’s actually a true quote. Just phrased poorly by the AI. Anechoic chambers mainly block reflections. Hellen keller did go there and said it felt like true silence because she was used to feeling sound cause internal rumbling sensations. But with no reflection you couldn’t feel anything from the sounds

If you look at the reddit post it’s citing, it’s from r/shittysuperpowers. A subreddit where you come up with fake shitty super powers is now getting cited as truth by google

It is not well defined. Because an order of summation is not given you could just as easily sum pairs of (0,1), (-1,2), (-2,3), (-3,4)… (-x, x+1) and conclude you are constantly adding 1 to your total so it goes to infinity instead
Or do the reverse of (-1,0), (-2,1), … (-x-1, x) and get that the each pair adds -1 so the sum goes to negative Infinity
Order of the addition sometimes changes infinite sums. Infinitely large things are weird sometimes

According to series animator Vincent Waller, “there is absolutely no meat in the Krabby Patty. There’s no animal product in there”, something which was always planned by series creator Stephen Hillenburg.[9]
…
he stated that there is no meat served in Bikini Bottom except at the Chum Bucket.

The very first thing they talk about is grapples and how they’re no longer sold. Then they recreating it by looking at the instructions in the patent for it from the company once making grapples

To be fair, from a quick glance, a good chunck of those articles are about ChatGPT/other AI and showing output from it as examples in the text
